When NOT to use reaper
Constraint-first guidance from category fit and live maintenance signals - not marketing copy.
- Avoid using Reaper for non-Go projects where the ecosystem benefits are not applicable and might introduce unnecessary complexities.
- Do not use Reaper if your security testing needs go beyond real-time validation proxies, as it focuses specifically on live interaction without broader audit features available in other tools.
